Acknowledgments

The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between Pogue Press (the dream team introduced on these pages) and O'Reilly & Associates (a dream publishing partner). In particular, this book owes its existence to Tim O'Reilly, Cathy Record, Edie Freedman, Allen Noren, Laura Schmier, Sue Willing, Mark Brokering, Dana Furby, and Sara Winge.

I'm deeply appreciative to have enjoyed the talents of proofreaders Danny Marcus, Sada Preisch, Jim Elferdink, and Norma Emory, as well as the deadline-saving, eleventh-hour editorial assistance of Nan Barber, the Missing Manual series copy editor. Thanks, too, to my agent, David Rogelberg, to Astrid Vanatalu, and to Darin Linnman, Microsoft's PR liaison at Waggener-Edstrom, who cheerfully chased down answers to some sticky questions. Finally, thanks to Jennifer, Kelly, and Tia, who make these books—and everything else—possible.
